Ode to Bridget

So a few weeks ago Aaron sold his beloved Jeep Grand Cherokee limited edition. She has been a great car, and there are so many memories with her, but it was her time. She was a '95 so she had some things that needed to get replaced, so I suggested that we would be fine with one car for the mean time, and my wonderful husband, despite his strong connection for his manly Jeep listened to me. He put her up for sale that day--he just wanted to see if there would even be any interest, and he ended up selling her within an hour for the same price he bought her for four years ago! (She did have a brand new engine put in since he bought her.)She brought us quite a pretty penny, and we still love her!!!

And if you know Aaron, you know why I had to post this, and even give it its own separate post. He REALLY loved that car. It was his first one he ever bought on his own!
Memories
Aaron had just bought her earlier the year that we met. He picked me up for every single one of our dates in that Jeep. He took me up to the mountains where we would watch movies and drink hot cocoa (but it was more like a milkshake because the car inverter didn't have enough power to both mix it and heat it in Aaron's Cocoa Motion) so sweet. We almost died in it because Aaron was trying to be a cool boyfriend (love that man) and he went a little to far on a windy makeshift road and thankfully Bridget got stuck on a rock that prevented us from falling! Yikes!!!
Aaron insisted driving her everywhere instead of my car, the gas savvy one, because she definitely was the cooler car.
And probably the best memory I have of her is bringing our baby girl home from the hospital in her.



We really loved that car

Wow! Even I could feel the emotion in that! Hopefully Bridget has a good home and will be loved as much! She sure had a nice interior!
